The annual Crimson Couch to 5K Walk/Run event on Sunday is expected to draw more than 800 people on the University of Alabama campus.

The event is sponsored by the UA Office of Health Promotion and Wellness and will start at 2 p.m. from the Outdoor Pool Complex parking lot at the Student Recreation Center. Check-in will be from noon until 2 p.m.

The event is open to the public.

Entry for the CC5K is free for pre-registered individuals who participated in the CC5K nine-week training program, as well as those under the age of 18, according to the university. People who did not participate in the training program may register prior to the event online, by mail or in person at the OHPW in 321 Russell Hall. The entry fee is $10 in advance and $15 on race day.

Those expected to participate in the walk/run include UA employees, their families, Tuscaloosa residents and more than 50 children from a local magnet school. A $1,000 award for a wellness-related activity will be awarded to the college, school or division at UA with the greatest number of CC5K participants in the training program and at the event.

Also on tap will be live music, activities for children and other exhibits in the parking lot of the Outdoor Pool Complex of the Student Recreation Center.
